Subject: Audit of Of Eastern Ontario People In Need Inc.
Dear Mr. Rushton:
This letter is further to our previous communications with regards to the audit of the books and records of Of Eastern Ontario People In Need Inc. (the
Organization) by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). The audit related to the operations of the Organization for the fiscal periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2015.
We have contacted the Organization by registered mail and telephone in order to obtain information and documentation necessary to carry out our audit. To this date, we have not been provided with the required documentation.
As a result of the Organization's failure to provide the books and records, we have identified specific areas of non-compliance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act and/or its Regulations in the following areas based on a review of the form T3010, Registered Charity Information Return filed:
Areas of non-compliance:
Issue Reference
1. Failure to maintain adequate books and 230(2)(a),(b) & (c), 230(4)(a)
records & (b), 168(1\!b) & (e)
2. Late filing of form T3010, Registered Charity 149.1(14), 168(1)(c) Information Return
- 2 -
The purpose of this letter is to describe the areas of non-compliance identified by the CRA during the course of the audit as they relate to the legislative and
common law requirements applicable to registered charities, and to provide the Organization with the opportunity to address our concerns. In order for a
registered charity to retain its registration, legislative and common law
compliance is mandatory, absent which the Minister of National Revenue (the Minister) may revoke the Organization's registration in the manner described in section 168 of the Act.
The balance of this letter describes the areas of non-compliance in further detail.
Identified areas of non-compliance:
Failure to maintain adequate books and records
The Act requires, under subsection 230(2), that registered charities maintain adequate books and records of account at a single address in Canada that is registered with the CRA containing:
(a) information in such form as will enable the CRA to determine whether there are any grounds for the revocation of its registration under the Act;
(b) a duplicate of each receipt containing prescribed information for a donation received by it; and
(c) other information in such form as will enable the CRA to verify the donations to it for which a deduction or tax credit is available under the Act.
The purpose of this requirement is to enable the charity to accurately provide the CRA with the information required by the Act and to verify the accuracy of
reported information through the conduct of audits.
In addition to the retention of copies of the donation receipts that subsection 230(2) explicitly requires, subsection 230(4) also states, "Every person required by this section to keep books of account shall retain
(a) the records and books of account referred to in this section in respect of which a period is prescribed, together with every account and voucher necessary to verify the information contained therein, for such period as prescribed; and
- 3 -
(b) all other records and books of account referred to in this section, together with every account and voucher necessary to verify the information
contained therein, until the expiration of six years from the date of the last taxation year to which the records and books relate_"
The Organization failed to provide the books and records necessary to conduct our audit. Without evidence to indicate otherwise, it is our position that the Organization's books and records have not been maintained in accordance with subsections 230(2) and 230(4) of the Act.
Under subsection 149.1 (2) of the Act, the Minister may revoke the registration of the charitable organization in the manner as described at paragraph 168(1)(b) and 168(1)(e) of the Act because the registered charity has failed to comply with the requirements of the Act for its registration as such and failed to comply with or contravenes any of sections 230 to 231.5 of the Act.
Late filing of form T3010, Registered Charity Information Return
Pursuant to subsection 149.1 (14) of the Act, every "registered charity" must, within six months after the end of the charity's fiscal period (taxation year), without notice or demand, file a Registered Charity Information Return with the applicable schedules_
The Organization has not filed its T3010 within six months of its fiscal period
ending as summarized below: ·

Under subsection 149.1 (2) of the Act, the Minister may revoke the registration of the charitable organization in the manner as described at paragraph 168(1)(c) of the Act because the registered charity has failed to file an information return as and when required under the Act or a regulation.
